Opening the only pharoanic tomb in Cairo for tourists

Egypt's Minister of culture Farouk Husni is to inaugurate the historical (Banhesee)'s tomb discovered in 1988.

The tomb dates back to the 26th pharoanic dynasty and was discovered by chance when the lawyers union tended to conduct some buildings in the area, said Zahy Hawass.

The tomb was discovered while digging for the building's base, immediately the digging was suspended and a team was send to the site to start excavating the tomb.

The tomb was 5 meters deep, and due to the high level of both ground and rain waters, the tomb was moved to another place to be mended as to be returned back afterwards, Abdul Hamid Kotb the project's manager said.
